Iran will no longer be the #1 ranked AFC nation in the next FIFA rankings

[PrinceAli]

Really? Bull jack, our true ranking is 15 to 18,, 2 losses? how about 3 wins and no losses? we were the class of this world cup. first of all we got 1 loss 1 draw and 1 WIN. secondly we were the best team in the group. But the freaking "cabal" oh I'm sorry I mean fifa didn't want Iran to go thru. If you don't agree go back and watch the games again.

chill bro. He’s referring to the friendlies before the World Cup. Check the date of posts before attacking people

"we played three reasonably good teams and we got two losses and one win and we will slip."
Really? so now Spain Portugal and Morocco are reasonably good teams?? would you have said this before Iran showed the world how to beat them??

[beevee]

it was expected. we played three reasonably good teams and we got two losses and one win and we will slip.

our world ranking has always been inflated since we dont meet strong teams from rest of the continents often.

our true ranking is probably in the 45-55 region.

in exactly 2 weeks the new list will be announced

[vatanparast]

we will be number 1 ranked team in Asia again. based on projections after world cup we will have 802 points. australia like 710 or so. japan and korea in the 600s or so. we will jump to like 30th ranking overall ballpark

[Ghomarbaaz]

Czech republic is ranked 45 and Australia is actually higher ranked (40) so not sure how much of an impact that will have for Australia... If they had beaten a team above their ranking by 4-0 it would have impacted them … anyways, who cares, it was just a friendly... the real ranking gets set after WC is over.

The Egyptian ref from the Tunisia match is the reason why we're not #1 ranked in Asia anymore. Never play a friendly against Arab teams when there are only Arab refs left.

again nothing is forced on you. you take what your incompetent leadership negotiates... if we had some plan and direction we would be dictating who what where instead we only react...its nothing else than in regular business you lead or you follow...

As long as we are top 2, we are safe for any WC or AC draw.

Barely anyone here in the U.S. cares much about soccer or the World Cup. Currently we are indulged in Baseball, as well as the NBA and NHL finals.

Yes but annoying UK reporters in BT sports and believe me when the fever is on ESPN, TSN and Fox Sports too. And they love to put a common wealth country at top and rub it against everyone face Damn ...

All of all teams has to be annoying Aussies that barely made it through the playoff . A team that recently lost 4-1 to Norway. What was this Czech team! Aren't you guys sure it was not their Paralympic team???!! This will be their heaviest loss lol.. Not against Brazil But Australia??!! Sounds like a jing jing jing $$$$$ send us up there; I pay you kind of thing. Who can believe Czech losing to an average Asian team 4-0 in Prague?!!!! ....Damn

[Paradigm]

But it is bitter to have it for 7 years and then when those reporters in UK and USA; fox news and all that will call Aussies as best in Asia... I know we will be back again but when all cameras are off the world cup again. Now, we really need to play good in the WC to make up for this drop.

Barely anyone here in the US cares enough about soccer or the World Cup. At present we are indulged in Major League Baseball, as well as the NBA and NHL finals. Even NASCAR gets more attention.

[arasradio]

Who cares guys
We had it for seven years let the kangroos have it for a month

i know. But it is bitter to have it for 7 years and now few days before the world cup; when all those reporters in UK and USA; specially fox news and all those annoying media; will call Aussies as the best in Asia... I know we will be back again at top but when all cameras are off the world cup again! It happens all the time

Now, we really need to play good in the WC to make up for this drop

And damn that Greece game mattered a lot as we would have beaten them in Istanbul. Those bastards hurt us big time. We should not temporarily seize our relationship with their federation, but cancel it permanently.

[arasradio]

If we tied the game in Istanbul, we would be still over Australia by 3 points .. DAMN! We should have not chosen Turkey as the stimulation for Plan B. We should have treated it as an official game
